--how does the lg500 snap together? I have an injured hand--

Putting it together is difficult enough, but getting it apart is much more challenging; often times it will discolor the case. It normally takes both hands but if you can somehow put a small screwdriver or something between any crack in the case you can pry it apart --- good luck, these phones/cases suck! Just being honest, hope it helps...

It snaps together by lining up the two parts of the case together. You could put the small piece on a flat surface, place the phone inside, then put the bigger piece on and snap it into place

The two pieces come together with the phone in the middle. It takes a firm push until you hear a click. Might need someone to assist because it definitely requires both hands!

I push the phone up from the bottom and pull it out from the top simultaneously. It's a two-hand operation. It took some practice but I now can get it it quickly.

There should be a small removable piece in the cradle just under where the earpiece of the headset would be. Remove this piece, turn it over or around and re-insert it. It should now stand up far enough to hold the handset in place when the phone is wall-mounted.

sorry for the delay in response, essentially u have to line it up over the port and slide it in, if it doesnt budge lift the phone slightly and insert. you dont hear a snap or anything. just notice when the phone is resting comfortably on the port u can insert the rest and you are ready to go. again pardon the delay

It is run down the seam of the phone housing to open the housing. Beats using your fingernail to open the housing. Saves from damaging plastic phone housings.

I had that trouble at first, but actually was glad that the shell/holster case was protecting my phone and not sliding off easily. The trick is, since the material is flexible, try the double hand action. Whereby, you grasp the holster case at one end (edge of thumb on one side 3 fingers on the other edge) bend it out a little and simultaneously, use the thumb of the other hand to push the end of the phone (shell). Remember that end of the phone(shell) is seated on the lipped end of the holster case.

It's supposed to snap together, but we had difficulties! Make sure the little slots end up on the right sides or the wrap around cover does not work. You are not missing anything, just some elbow grease. (My husband ended up using screws and put it together all wrong.)

Its annoying that amazon lumped the 'Grip' and 'Snap' into one product listing when the two are fundamentally different. The Grip secures your phone via spring loaded tabs, and is basically universal - any phone will work with it. The Snap, on the other hand, uses magnets and metal plates to hold your phone - You need to secure a metal plate onto your phone, either by hiding it inside the battery compartment, between your phone and its protective case, or crazy gluing it to the phone's backing. YMMV but I prefer the Grip over the Snap.

What do you do with a great phone? Discontinue it! The most critical replacement part for this phone (housing that contains the flip hinge) is no longer available. . .most other parts are. This is a remarkable phone. I bought 2 reconditioned phones, I'm using one currently . . .if it deep sixes then I move my SIM card to the other phone and I'm good to go

I use the handle of a fork (or something thin and flat) to gently pry it apart at the bottom where you would normally plug the phone in...then carefully separate the top from the bottom. My daughters top section cracked when she took it off one time so I always do so carefully.

You have to unsnap the left side snap fastener. You cannot extend and rotate the screen unless you do that.

Umm it seems to work good I mean don't swing it around crazily like but my mom did drop hers (after a while) and it broke the corner of what the phone attaches to it but now I have to get her a new one, but she loved it! So it was really worth it but just make sure it's closed and everything should be fine ! I hope you'll enjoys yours as much as my mom did!

pry off the back starting from bottom, work your way up little by little. There are slight indentations on side of phone to dig your finger nails into. Its a very tight fit, reinsert top first and then bottom to close.

had that same issue with mine. it was a fried board. lg will charge you 70 yup 140 to repair it. my advise, get a different phone

The glass and the touch screen assembly are one piece. I bought mine from amazon and had it replaced, but later found that taking it to an LG service centre would have been 20% cheaper! Also, if you're doing it yourself, be aware that the replacement LCD does not come with the frame like on other phones, so you have to knock out the old one from the old frame first.
